You're a punk, Royal Space Force is the one I wanted the most :(

My order still isn't canceled at Borders, but Amazon apparently shipped my Planet Earth order today. But this thread is telling me I'm outta luck, though I can leave the order open for as long as I feel it humors me, which will probably be a long while.

Anyone else get any Hd-dvd's?

cancel pending or limbo.

My order is ?
Havn't heard nothing since I place my order.

All I got is TMNT. They canceled everything else...

redbill 12-10-08 07:55 AM

no news here. still "pending". Planet Earth was all I ordered

Why wasn't Matrix included in this? Last I saw, they still had it for like $109, which is bloody insane compared to the $40 it is everywhere else. What pisses me off even more is the fact the only 1 place has sold it under $40 (frys.com) and I missed that deal.

Still haven't received any emails from Borders, but it looks like my order was canceled, as I got an email from e bates telling me that my Borders order was either returned or canceled.

I gave up and cancelled my 2 open orders that were destined to sit in limbo indefinitely. Of course, that took me almost a week on its own, as every time I called to cancel, their computers were down. They've really gone to s**t.

I know it's likely most of these orders will end up never being fulfilled, but FYI, I just got my Royal Space Force and Mahler HD DVDs from this sale yesterday. The Royal Space Force set (DVD and HD DVD in a thick cardboard case) is very nice.

My first Borders order, however--for Planet Earth and the Sopranos sets--still sits In Processing.

Seems very random. I ordered late, but somehow managed to get Heroes S1 shipped. All the rest cancelled. If anyone wants to trade for BSG...

Another reason why Borders.com needs to die. Losers probably got overwhelmed with orders, stopped the ordering on the dysfunctional web site first, and then, because it's easier, went backwards in chronological order through all the orders and handed out the 2-3 quantity of each title they actually had, and then continued from last to first cancelling orders and sending out emails. No offense to you who got the order, but it's so not fair to whomever ordered first!

Hey, anyone notice right after this fiasco, they had advertised any and every imaginable technique to increase sales on the web site?!

My order still 'in process'....almost 2 weeks later!

I feel some pity for Borders though. I'm pretty sure they'll soon be filing for bankruptcy.

I think they lead the web in website screw ups this year. The $5 off any item where you could reuse it over and over on the same order was fun a few months ago. Got like $200 worth of books for $30. My planet earth is still being processed and my sopranos was cancelled.
